Just two days after the spectacular Davis Cup victory in Slovakia, Jannik Sinner has another reason to be happy. The 20-year-old from Pusterer left his friend and rival Hubert Hurkacz behind in the ATP ranking and moved back into the top ten in tenth place.
However, his presence there will be temporary as he is off the field this week and will be overtaken by Hurkacz next Monday.
In addition to Sinner, another Azzurro is currently in the top ten: Matteo Berrettini overtakes the Russian Andrey Rublev and equals his personal best ranking with sixth place. Davis Cup hero Lorenzo Musetti is also better than ever in the world rankings. Four days after his 20th birthday, he is already in 56th place. His compatriots Lorenzo Sonego (21st) and Fabio Fognini (36th) are ahead of him.
Andreas Seppiwho last played in the first-round game in Acapulco on February 20, improved from 123rd to 122nd place.
